Domestic violence is the No. 2 driver of homelessness in Clark County, report finds

A new Clark County homelessness report identifies rising housing costs as the leading driver of homelessness, with domestic violence as the second major cause. The report shows people experiencing homelessness due to domestic violence nearly doubled, from around 808 to 1,794. While this regional data affects our broader community, it’s specific to Clark County (Vancouver area) rather than Burien directly.
